"We called him classless, a bad sportsman, a troll. We called him a monkey and a nigger."

Deadspin used to be this awesome mens lifestyle website where you could go and laugh at your favorite athlete getting wasted or sending out a dick, see some cool highlights or something funny from last nights games ESPN would would be too prudish to show, or see some cool graphics or other statistical anomolies. Now I…

But we're not talking about that play today.

It's not about a 'black man knowing his place' to me. If Peyton Manning was interviewed and started shouting derogatory crap at the Patriot DBs, and how they better keep his name outta their mouths, I'd think he was equally classless.

Oh, and Barry Bonds at his "peak" was a juiced up, lying, arrogant, piece of shit that even his teammates hated with a burning passion. Not sure what that had to do with him being black. Of course, this is Gawker so the sun coming up today probably has something to do someone being black

It's why we recoil at Kanye West's rants, like when West, one of the greatest musical minds of our generation, had the audacity to publicly declare himself a genius (was this up for debate?)

This is a fair point to make, but lumping in the Fox Sports employee's tweet about being simply scared by a man screaming with the larger race comment is a legitimately irresponsible move.

Yeah, let's write about 10,000 more of these articles. Sherman is a fucking asshole like about 75% of the NFL. That's about the end of that story

They also announced that they are seeking a replacement for Le Batard. The prospective voter must (1) have been a BBWAA member for over ten years, (2) be of good moral character, and (3) own a working dot matrix printer.

Pete Prose.

I heard that he's also not allowed into BBWAA's official AOL chat room. They take shit like this very seriously.

I'm inclined to agree with Costas and Rikki-Tikki-Deadly. Some events should be confined to the X Games.

Agreed. Adding a bunch of made-up judged competitions just looks like a ruse to pad the medal total of nations with children rich enough to participate in them.

Eh, as someone who loves snowboarding, I'm not inclined to disagree. I'd be perfectly content if they purged all of the snowboarding (and skiing) events that aren't associated with a) how fast you can go or b) how high and/or far you can jump. All the trick stuff belongs in the X-Games.

Looks like UT Athletics is the answer to the joke: "What's Black and White and Red all over?"

What a shame. He spent so much time getting his stubble to look just right and now...now you'll never even notice it.

Among really fucked-up bridges, this one ranks right behind Todd.

snot right

Why, hello Mr. Real Life Pablo Picasso Painting.

Either way, he's still a diaper dandy.
